Directed by LEGS (Goldfrapp's "Alive"), the video was shot at the historic and legendary Hotel Chelsea in NYC made famous by the eclectic and artistic musicians who have made it their home in the past, these include Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Dylan Thomas and Sid Vicious, amongst others.
The video is a dark and lusciously rich view into the hotel's seedy underbelly through the eyes of La Roux's Elly Jackson who finds herself acting the part of night porter.

An exclusive interview with Elly and behind the scenes footage from the "In For The Kill" video aired on MTV's new daily show, "The Seven".
La Roux has caught America's attention with the smash hit of the summer "Bulletproof," their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut and thrilling performances on Ellen, Good Morning America and most recently, The View.
The band are set to embark on a national headlining tour this fall and have just announced that fellow Cherrytree Records label-mates Far East Movement, whose "Like A G6" is at #1 on iTunes this week, will be joining the tour on select dates.
New York-based Francis and the Lights, just off of tours with Drake and MGMT have been slated to kick off the evening.
Scheduled to begin November 1, 2010 at The Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, the tour will take La Roux across the country before wrapping at Terminal 5 in New York City on November 17th. Tickets are available for all dates via Ticketmaster.
What began in London's burgeoning underground warehouse scene has since landed 22-year-old Elly Jackson, co-producer co-songwriter co-hort Ben Langmaid and their glittering self titled debut a long and impressive list of accolades and millions of fans internationally. Sizzling first single "Bulletproof" has become an instant summer hit climbing the Top 40 charts and making itself at home in the Top 10 with the track selling well over 1.8 million copies on our shores already.
